Stupid things to do in a crowded elevator.

Put one of those laugh boxes in your pocket and activate it as everyone is trying to avoid eye contact.  As soon as anyone even chuckles, yell out loudly - "What are you laughing at? You won't think it's so funny if you had Hyenous-terrette syndrome by Proxy" "It's not a pretty disease!"

Stare at one person, then speak inaudibly into the cuff of your sleeve with your other hand over your ear as if you were actually communicating with someone, then look at another person on the elevator and nod knowlingly.

When you hear the elevator bell ring as it stops on a floor, pretend that it is the emercency phone ringing and pick it up. Say "hello, yes, yes, what? I thought I told you never to call me here" and slam the phone down. Act real irritated.

Push all the buttons on the elevator making loud explosive noises as you push each button.

Push your finger into each floor as it lights up and act as if you were driving the elevator. Make a sound like squeeling brakes when the elevator stops and a noise like squeeling tires when it starts up again. Make a beep beep sound occasionally as if you were blowing the horn.

Mark an X on the floor with a piece of chock then move slowly and cautiously away from it never taking your eyes off of it. Whenever the elevator stops to discharge or pickup passengers warn everyone not to step on the X.

Take the elevator to the top floor and block the doors open. Then lie on the floor in a sprawled position and with a piece of chock draw the outline of your body to make it look like a crime scene outline. Unblock the doors and ride it down. Tell everyone getting on that you are a crime scene investigator and to try not to contaminate anything. Single one person out, then talk into your sleeve and put your other hand over your ear. Keep staring at the person you have singled out all the way to his stop.

Bring your VCR remote onto the elevator. Point it toward the floor buttons and push. When nothing happens shake the remote. Point it and push again. When nothing happens tap it several times and look annoyed. Point and push again and then when nothing happens push all the floor buttons and as the elevator stops on each floor simultaneously point and push your remote at the floor buttons. After doing this for three floors announce that the instructions on your elevator remote say to do this when it fails to work in order to clear the memory.

Sing the theme song to the Flintstones and ask everyone to sing along with you.

Make sounds like air brakes on a truck everytime the doors open and close.

Just say Bridge or 10 forward when you enter the elevator then mumble something about Klingons.

Look knowlingly at the person next to you and say -"you know what I like about riding these things?" Then smile and say "no tipping!"

Yell out - give me a B then say B, then yell out again give me a B then say B, then yell out again give me a B then say B, then yell out again give me a B then say B, then say what does it spell? Then put your index finger lengthwise between your lips moving it up and down to make that sound like BBBBBB.

Tell everyone on the elevator that you are ignoring them.

Bring some air sickness bags and pass them out to everyone that gets on the elevator.

Tell everyone that you used to be a mime until you lost your voice.

Tell everyone that they are in an elevator race and that you are suppossed to announce the race. When the elevator starts up start announcing like you would be calling a horse race with something like:
Now rounding the far turn everyone is neck and neck, going into the stretch they're still neck and neck and now heading for the finishline, lettuce is a head. tomatoe is trying to catch up, water is still running and bird poop is on the rail.

Get onto the elevator with a cardboard box full of bags of peanuts. As the elevator starts to move yell out, Hey peanuts, get your peanuts...

When the elevator stops at the lobby stand to the side of the door and say to each person as they get off 'bub-bye' just like they do on the airlines.

Tell people that you are claustrophobic and halfway to your floor stage a seizure. When the doors open tell everyone to stay back and run screaming off the elevator.

While getting on hold the doors open and open all the panels. Tell everyone that you are looking for this elevator's safety record and refuse to let the elevator move until you get to see it.

Wait for the first person to get on the elevator that insists on pushing his floor button even though someone has already pushed it. Then let out a big sigh and say, "oh great, now it will take two stops at this floor to clear that."

Thanks for the ideas.   ;)

you gotta boost yourself up and open the safety door on top just for fun

or start quoting ELP lyrics

Or bring a boombox playing the song "Love in an elevator" by Aerosmith

or comment on everyones clothing as they walk in

Or dress up like a huge artichoke and punch people who enter

or set up a small table, and dress up like a doctor, and have people enter to see you awaiting to do something, and offer them free check ups

yell out that there is a bee on the elevator, even though there isnt

enter the crowded elevator, and proceed to pee in the corner, then leave on the next floor

attempt to give all passengers a hug upon exit

when you get in, remove your pants

use the "I lost my number, can I have yours" on every female who enters, especially if theyre old or with their husbands

cough on all the buttons

Just stand there in the centre of the thing with your arms folded and scowl at anyone who attempts to get in.

Or just stand with your back to the elevator door so you're looking at everyone.  Easy but very off-putting! ;)

talk on your cell phone. ;D

Howard

after everyone has entered, hold the door open and claim to be waiting for someone, and hold it open for like 5 minutes, and then close it claiming that he mustve took the stairs.

I want one of those huge cell phones like in trigger happy tv, then I would talk on it in an elevator!

If I saw that guy I would ask to use his phone.  

after the musak stops playing, start humming it over and over again

You better hum fast, how long is an elevator ride anyway?  I take it NYers ride elevators a lot.  

I don't get to ride in elevators very much...the only elevator I go on is the one at school, and we have to sneak to get on it because it's for teachers and people who injure themselves.

You just have to wait for somebody to walk out of it and then just jump in, or if you have a friend with an elevator pass it's a whole lot easier.

STR810UP, you got too much free time on your hands buddy ??? But to add to the fun when an attractive lady gets on sing "Love in an Elevator"   by Aerosmith to her if she laughs then you have broken the ice.

pass gas!
:o

Howard

bang on the elevator door and say "I want to get out"! :D

Howard

Youll probably get arrested for this one but...

for everyone that comes in, put your hand in a certain spot and tell them to turn their head to the side and caugh... :o

get undressed! ;D

Howard

This is one my late fiancee taught me, we used to love doing this.

Just walk into the back like most people do, but do NOT turn around.  Just stand there facing the back wall.  It is so unusual, people will wonder what you are doing.

Or if you are in a silly mood, try to get everybody to jump up and down at the same time, saying that you will either:

1)  achieve weightlessness
2)  Make the elevator go faster, because when you are in the air, it will be able to move up faster because of less weight
3)  Will show that the elevator is having problems, so will continue to the top/bottom floor without stopping at floors in the middle of the building.

I have done all of these, and is funny to see what people will say.do.

pretend to use the elevator phone!

Howard

Another great thing to do is to dress up as a celebrity and see if anyone mistakes you for them.
Once I find enough leather stuff I will dress up as Justin Trousersnake and go into the nearest lift.
Only problem with that is I'm female and five or six inches too short. But hey, I can get one of those stupid hats that he wears and stick it fairly low over my head. Then if anyone turns to me and goes, "Are you...?" I can just smile, take the hat off and shake my hair out.

God I want to do that! :D

burp!  ;D ;)


Howard

I tried this once, oh god was it funny the reactions!

Walk into the elevator, and each time the elevator doors close pretend to hyperventilate. When someone takes pity and tries to help, say you're alright, and when you go out, pretend that nothing happened and say they all have weird imaginations. Do this for a couple of days. Then one day, bring in a paper bag full of newspapers for that day. Then that time, when you 'Hyperventilate', breathe into the bag (and cough - especially after someone has taken out a newspaper!) Oh pretend to give them out for the day to keep them busy.

LOL!!!!!!!! It is funny. Try it if you dare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this on 'Al Lowes humor site' -

Frown and mutter 'Gotta go, gotta go.' Then sigh and say 'Oops!' (best in a crowded elevator - and the place with the elevator has no toilet)

keep on pressing all the numbers.


Howard

Turn on your personal CD player and start air-guitaring and jumping about. Really get into the rockstar mentality- screw your face up and mime obscenities, but don't make any sound.

Note: It's even better if you're not actually using a personal CD player at the time.

eat some loud potato chips! ;D


Howard

Go to the back of the elevator and scream at the top of your lungs.

pretend your having seizures. ;D


Howard

Stand in front of somebody and mumble something about how you hate people staring at the back of your head.
